Every 4 years, I write a column about the presidential election and do my best to articulate for whom I am voting and why. As I look back at my 2008 article, I decided to vote for Barack Obama 4 years ago because he had a better understanding of America’s place in the world. I remember being slightly incensed that …
For many, last night was their first glimpse of the possible future Vice-President of the United States, congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. If you wondered when the bashing of Obama was going to come, you need wait no longer. Paul Ryan embraced every chance to denounce the last 4 years of the Obama administration. In one of his memorable lines, …
On Fox Morning News yesterday, Bill Kristol gave advice to the Romney campaign that they should heed: embrace your record at Bain and embrace capitalism. Doesn’t anyone see the irony that Mitt Romney is running from, and sometimes on, his supposed greatest triumph: business experience. How do you back track from your strength and yet somehow use this as …
A large portion of Mitt Romney’s financial success stems from his role as the former leader of Bain Capital. The Obama campaign is using this against him and Mitt is once again back-pedaling, saying that his involvement with the firm ended long ago. As we hear more about Bain Capital, will this be the issue that brings down Mitt Romney’s …
In 2012, President Obama wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for “middle class” but not the wealthy. As the end deadline approaches for the Bush era tax cuts, President Obama seeks to continue the tax cuts for the middle class but allow the tax cuts for the rich to lapse.
In anad put out by the 2012 Obama campaign, Mitt Romney is accused of being an “Outsourcer” as his private equity firm, Bain Capital, shipped many jobs overseas. You can view the full ad below but the premise deserves a consideration. If you intend to vote for Mitt Romney, which you shouldn’t (yes, we’re allowed opinions at this site and …
On this page, you can view Barack Obama’s State of the Union Speech and see the overall reaction to the speech. In case you missed the State of the Union Speech last night, here is the State of the Union Speech video in its entirety from January 25th, 2011.
The war in Iraq officially ended last week in a dreary speech by President Obama, a speech that hailed the war heroes, tepidly reviewed the results of the war campaign, and ended with a somber reflection on our economy. If the speech left a taste in your mouth, it was not one to leave you salivating for more. How do …
Like much of America, I tune into Meet the Press on Sunday mornings. This morning Joe Biden was the guest on Meet the Press with relatively new host David Gregory. They talked about a myriad of topics but I had trouble listening…because Joe Biden kept commanding me to “Look!”.
After Al Gore lost the election to George Bush, his demeanor changed as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He became much more electable after he lost the election. The same can be said of John McCain in his loss to Barack Obama. For some reason, he lost his true self during the presidential race and then …
Politicians who say the word “look” all the time are driving me absolutely insane! As I watched John McCain and Barack Obama on 60 minutes last night, I realized what my new commander-in-chief is going to command me to do most often: “Look!”
Sometimes, when political parties aren’t doing a good enough job at creating commercials for their candidates, you just have to do it for them. In the 2008 election, Barack Obama is losing steam because McCain is claiming Barack is just popular, rock-star politician with no substance. Here is the ad I have created for them:
Observations on the Political Speeches Last Night [June 2008]: John McCain is a Kinda Creepy, Hillary is Finally Hillary, and Barack is Just Plain Cool! John McCain should not have listened to the advice he received last night: SMILE! It was unnatural. There were moments when it seemed the teleprompter must have parenthetically included: Smile right NOW and Look At The Camera. The smile …
